first he refused, but was soon persuaded to
yield by an ample bribe. The women, who

The decision of the Supreme court in the
Maxwell grant case is not very encouraging
except to those who have the land. The

the patent set aside on the ground of fraud,

dence was presented that even an attempt to
commit fraud was made. The government

What sea water will do as preservative
is shown by the fact that among the articles

perfect state of preservation. Dyers who
have experimental with the logwood state
that it is even better for dyeing purposes
than the wood now imported. The mahoga-
ny, too, is very fine and solid, one log twelve
feet long and twenty-five by thirty-two
inches square being subsequently worked
up in the shape of furniture and walking

THE ERIE HOME.
The Charges Against the Management Found 10 be
GrOundlesS.

The Charges Against The management fohhu W NC
GrOundlesS.
The charges made recently against the man
agement Of the Soldiers and Sailors Home at
Erie. Pa, by Capt. u. II. Burkert a member OF
Post No. l6 GAR Reading, who had been an
inmate of the Home, resulted in a sub-commlt-
Zee being appointed 60 make an investigation.
The committee consisted of Col. Robert H.
Beath and ]. NJ. Nanderlice, Of Philadelphia,
aud Maj Isaac B. Brown, of Cory. The
charges made were sworn 10 before James x.
Kenney, q notary public of Reading.
In brief they were as follows: That the
bread was bad. meat and fish tainted, bad but
ter, and meats scanty; that vegetables were
dished up without seasoning; that cripples
were made TO work and brutally treated; that
unsuitable diet was given 10 the sick; that
James Dobson the cObbler. was refused pay
because he was a Democrat; that the non-com-
missioned officers were hard drinkers and very
cruel; that special officers David Reinhart oil
Reading, and George COrcoran, of Pittsburg,
were imbeciles, and abused inmates; that Maj.
w. w. Tyson the Commander Of the Home,
was partial, and those incurring bis displeasure
were prosecuted.
On Wednesday evening the committee went
10 Erie, and on Thursday investigated the
charges. -Four Of Burkert's witnesses took
the stand and denied the allegations fn toto.
The special officers sworn by the Major demon
strated on the stand that they were men of good
judgment and intellect Louis Cook, the con.
sumptive, who Burkert alledged was confined
in the engine-room, swore that he went there
of his own free will, and only left when ordered
TO do so by Major Tyson. James Dobson, the
Democratic cobbler, testified that the table
board was better than the average boarding
house, and made a sweeping denial of all OF
Burkert's charges. he also swore that tainted
fish had been served twice, but that the cook
did not know it was unpalatable, and that II
had been sent back TO the merchant IL had
been procured from. On Friday several wit
nesses that Burkert had selected TO substan
tiate his charges testified that they received
the very best of treatment. The cripplei
whom Burlzert swore had been ill-used testi
| fed otherwise.
Charges made by Andrew Bovard, OF West
moreland County, were also investigated anC
found TO be without foundation. The Commits
sion were satisfied that such charges were with
